Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Montagesystem zur Montage von Spiegelköpfen zur Bereitstellung von rechten und linken Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegeln, Halteeinrichtungen für rechte und linke Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegel von Linkslenker- bzw. Rechtslenkerfahrzeugen und einen Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegel für Nutzfahrzeuge.The present invention relates to a mounting system for mounting mirror heads for providing left and right vehicle exterior mirrors, left and right vehicle left and right vehicle exterior mirror holding devices, and a commercial vehicle exterior mirror.
Für einen umfassenden Überblick über den rückwärtigen Verkehr werden an Kraftfahrzeugen in der Regel sowohl auf der rechten Seite als auch der linken Seite Außenspiegel vorgesehen. Dazu wird auf jeder Seite des Kraftfahrzeugs ein Spiegelkopf, der eine Spiegelscheibe umfasst, mittels geeigneter Montagesysteme an dem Kraftfahrzeug montiert. Damit der Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegel den unterschiedlichen Sitzpositionen der Fahrer angepasst werden kann ist der Spiegelkopf oder die Spiegelscheibe verschwenkbar gelagert. Um sowohl bei rechtsgelenkten als auch bei linksgelenkten Kraftfahrzeugen eine ausreichende Verstellbarkeit der Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegel zu gewährleisten werden diese bei einem rechtsgelenkten Fahrzeug in einer anderen Grundstellungen montiert als bei einem linksgelenkten Fahrzeug.For a comprehensive overview of traffic at the rear, motor vehicles are usually provided with side mirrors on both the right and the left side. For this purpose, a mirror head comprising a mirror pane is mounted on the motor vehicle on each side of the motor vehicle by means of suitable mounting systems. So that the motor vehicle outside mirror can be adapted to the different seating positions of the driver, the mirror head or the mirror disk is pivotably mounted. In order to ensure sufficient adjustability of the motor vehicle exterior mirrors both in right-hand drive and in left-hand drive vehicles, these are mounted in a right-hand drive vehicle in a different basic positions than in a left-hand drive vehicle.
Eine einfache Lösung zur Bereitstellung einer ausreichenden Verstellbarkeit von Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegeln ist die Verwendung von rohrförmigen Haltearmen, an denen die Spiegelköpfe so montiert werden können, dass diese in einem großen Bereich um das Halterohr verschwenkbar sind. Dadurch sind die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten jedoch stark eingeschränkt und es sind alternative Montagesysteme gesucht, wenn aufgrund von Designvorgaben keine rohrförmigen Haltearme zu verwenden ist.A simple solution for providing sufficient adjustability of motor vehicle exterior mirrors is the use of tubular support arms on which the mirror heads can be mounted so that they are pivotable in a large area around the support tube. As a result, the design options are severely limited and alternative mounting systems are sought, if no tubular support arms is to be used due to design specifications.
Aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht ist ferner gefordert, dass eine möglichst geringe Anzahl an unterschiedlichen Bauteilen herzustellen und für die Montage bereitzuhalten ist.From an economic point of view, it is further required that the smallest possible number of different components be produced and kept ready for assembly.
So werden bei rechtsgelenkten und linksgelenkten Kraftfahrzeugen bevorzugt identische Haltearme und Spiegelköpfe verwendet. Derartige Haltearme weisen in der Regel eine oder mehrere Montageflächen auf, an denen die Spiegelköpfe montiert werden können. Um nun unterschiedliche Grundstellungen für rechtsgelenkte und linksgelenkte Fahrzeuge bereitzustellen, werden lediglich keilförmige Winkelplatten zwischen den Montageflächen und den Spiegelköpfen angeordnet.Thus, for right-hand drive and left-hand drive vehicles preferably identical retaining arms and mirror heads are used. Such support arms usually have one or more mounting surfaces on which the mirror heads can be mounted. To now different basic positions for right-steered and left-steered To provide vehicles, only wedge-shaped angle plates between the mounting surfaces and the mirror heads are arranged.
Diese Winkelplatten lassen sich derart beschreiben, dass sie jeweils eine Vorderseite, eine Rückseite eine schmale Randseite und eine gegenüberliegend angeordnete breite Randseite umfassen, dass sie mittels ihrer Rückseiten an den Montageflächen der rechten und linken Haltearme montierbar sind und dass an deren Vorderseiten die Spiegelköpfe montierbar sind.These angle plates can be described such that they each comprise a front side, a rear side a narrow edge side and an oppositely arranged wide edge side, that they can be mounted by means of their backs on the mounting surfaces of the right and left support arms and that on the front sides of the mirror heads can be mounted ,
Bei einem derartigen Montagesystem können somit auf relativ einfache Weise der rechte und linke Spiegelkopf in der gewünschten Grundstellung montiert werden. Das heißt, bei einem linksgelenkten Kraftfahrzeug derart, dass eine optimale Beobachtung des rückwärtigen Verkehrs vom linken Vordersitz aus möglich ist, bzw. bei einem rechtsgelenkten Kraftfahrzeug derart, dass eine optimale Beobachtung des rückwärtigen Verkehrs vom rechten Vordersitz aus möglich ist.In such a mounting system can thus be mounted in the desired basic position in a relatively simple manner, the right and left mirror head. That is, in a left-steered motor vehicle such that an optimal observation of the rear traffic from the left front seat is possible, or in a right-steered motor vehicle such that an optimal observation of the rear traffic from the right front seat is possible.
Ein diesbezügliches System wird in der
Bei dem beschriebenen Montagesystem besteht jedoch die Gefahr, dass bei der Montage der Spiegelköpfe die Winkelplatten auf der falschen Seite und/oder in falscher Ausrichtung montiert werden. Darüber hinaus besteht die Gefahr, dass falsche Winkelplatten verwendet werden, wenn für unterschiedliche Fahrzeuge oder Spiegelköpfe unterschiedliche Winkelplatten bereitgehalten werden.In the described mounting system, however, there is a risk that the mounting of the mirror heads, the angle plates are mounted on the wrong side and / or in the wrong orientation. In addition, there is a risk that false angle plates are used if different angle plates are kept available for different vehicles or mirror heads.
Ein alternatives System wird in der
Dieses System verringert zwar die Anzahl an bereitzuhaltenden Komponenten zur Montage eines Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegels, jedoch wird eine falsche Montage nicht in ausreichendem Maße verhindert. So muss die Person, welche die Montage des Tragarms durchführt, bei jeder Montage entscheiden, ob der Positionskeil herausgebrochen werden muss oder nicht, so dass ein versehentliches Herausbrechen des Positionskeils oder ein Vergessen des Herausbrechens zu einer falschen Ausrichtung des Spiegelkopfes führt.While this system reduces the number of components to be mounted for mounting an automotive outside mirror, mis-assembly is not sufficiently prevented. Thus, the person performing the mounting of the support arm has to decide at each assembly whether or not the position key needs to be broken out so that accidental breaking out of the position key or forgetting to break out will result in misalignment of the mirror head.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Montagesystem zur Montage von Spiegelköpfen bereitzustellen, mit dem rechte und linke Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegel für sowohl rechtsgelenkte als auch linksgelenkte Fahrzeuge bereitgestellt werden können und bei dem eine falsche Montage der Spiegelköpfe weitgehend vermieden werden kann.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a mounting system for mounting mirror heads, can be provided with the right and left exterior mirrors for both right-steered and left-steered vehicles and in which a false assembly of the mirror heads can be largely avoided.
Vorrichtungstechnisch wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch das Montagesystem gemäß Anspruch 1, bzw. die Halteinrichtungen für rechte und linke Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegel von Linkslenker- bzw. Rechtslenkerfahrzeugen gemäß den Ansprüchen 2 bis 5 und durch einen Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegel für Nutzfahrzeuge gemäß Anspruch 12.Device technology, this object is achieved by the mounting system according to
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist somit zum einen ein Montagesystem zur Montage von Spiegelköpfen zur Bereitstellung von rechten und linken Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegeln gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung mitThe subject of the present invention is thus firstly a mounting system for mounting mirror heads for providing right and left motor vehicle outside mirrors according to the present invention

wenigstens zwei identischen Linkslenkerwinkelplatten und/oder wenigstens zwei identischen Rechtslenkerwinkelplatten, die jeweils eine Vorderseite, eine Rückseite eine schmale Randseite und eine gegenüberliegend angeordnete breite Randseite umfassen und mittels ihren Rückseiten an den Montageflächen der beiden Haltearme montierbar sind und an deren Vorderseiten die Spiegelköpfe montierbar sind,at least two identical left-hand drive angle plates and / or at least two identical right-hand angle plates each comprising a front side, a rear side a narrow edge side and an oppositely arranged wide edge side and by means of their backs on the mounting surfaces of the two Retaining arms are mountable and on the front sides of the mirror heads are mounted,
wobei jede Linkslenkerwinkelplatte eine Linkslenkerkodierung in Form von wenigstens einem Linkslenkerformelement aufweist, das bei Montage an der Montagefläche in wenigstens ein komplementäres erstes Formelement auf der Montagefläche eingreift, und die Linkslenkerkodierung eine Montage der Linkslenkerwinkelplatte an den Montageflächen des rechten und linken Haltearms in nur einer Linkslenkerorientierung ermöglicht,wherein each left-hand drive angle plate has a left-hand drive code in the form of at least one left-hand drive link that engages when mounted on the mounting surface in at least one complementary first mold element on the mounting surface, and the left-hand drive allows mounting the left-hand drive angle plate to the mounting surfaces of the right and left arm in only one left-hand drive orientation .
bzw. jede Rechtslenkerwinkelplatte eine Rechtslenkerkodierung in Form von wenigstens einem Rechtslenkerformelement aufweist, das bei Montage an der Montagefläche in wenigstes ein komplementäres zweites Formelement auf der Montagefläche eingreift, und die Rechtslenkerkodierung eine Montage der Rechtslenkerwinkelplatte an den Montageflächen des rechten und linken Haltearms in nur einer Rechtslenkerorientierung ermöglicht.or each right-hand drive angle plate has a right-hand drive coding in the form of at least one right-hand drive shaped element which engages in mounting on the mounting surface in wenigstes a complementary second mold element on the mounting surface, and the right-hand drive coding a mounting the right-hand drive angle plate on the mounting surfaces of the right and left arm in only one right-hand drive orientation allows.
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Montagesystem wird die Gefahr einer falschen Montage zum einen dadurch verringert, dass für die Montage der rechten und linken Spiegelköpfe identische Winkelplatten verwendet werden. Eine Verwechslung rechter und linker Winkelplatten scheidet damit aus. Darüber hinaus sind durch die Anordnung der Formelemente und der dazu komplementären Formelemente an den Winkelplatten bzw. Montageflächen der Haltearme die Winkelplatten so kodiert, dass diese immer nur in einer Orientierung bzw. Ausrichtung montiert werden können.With the mounting system according to the invention, the risk of incorrect installation is reduced by the fact that identical angle plates are used for the assembly of the right and left mirror heads. A confusion of right and left angle plates eliminates it. In addition, the angle plates are encoded by the arrangement of the form elements and the complementary form elements to the angle plates or mounting surfaces of the support arms so that they can be mounted only in one orientation or orientation.
Somit umfasst das erfindungsgemäße Montagesystem nur zwei Arten an Winkelplatten, eine für rechtsgelenkte Fahrzeuge und eine für linksgelenkte Fahrzeuge. Werden Haltearme für linksgelenkte Kraftfahrzeuge montiert, so müssen neben den rechten und linken Haltearmen zusätzlich lediglich die zugehörigen Linkslenkerwinkelplatten bereitgestellt werden. Damit ist eine eindeutige und verwechslungssichere Montage sichergestellt.Thus, the mounting system according to the invention comprises only two types of angle plates, one for right-hand drive vehicles and one for left-hand drive vehicles. If retaining arms for left-hand drive vehicles are mounted, in addition to the right and left retaining arms, in addition only the associated left-hand drive angle plates must be provided. This ensures a clear and unmistakable assembly.
Wird auf die Montage von Haltearmen für rechtsgelenkte Kraftfahrzeuge umgestellt, so sind lediglich die Linkslenkerwinkelplatten durch Rechtslenkerwinkelplatten auszutauschen. Alle anderen Bauteile und Komponenten können weiter verwendet werden.If converted to the mounting of brackets for right-hand drive vehicles, so only the left-hand drive angle plates are replaced by right-hand angle plates. All other components and components can continue to be used.
Das erfindungsgemäße Montagesystem enthält einen rechten und einen linken Haltearm und wenigstens zwei identischen Linkslenkerwinkelplatten und/oder wenigstens zwei identischen Rechtslenkerwinkelplatten. Jeder der beiden Haltearme kann dabei über mehr als eine Montagefläche verfügen, was vor allem dann angebracht ist, wenn entweder ein relativ großer Spiegelkopf oder mehr als ein Spiegelkopf an einem Haltearm zu montieren sind. Demgemäß wird eine derartige Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Montagesystems auch über mehr als zwei identische Linkslenkerwinkelplatten und/oder Rechtslenkerwinkelplatten verfügen.The mounting system according to the invention comprises a right and a left arm and at least two identical left-hand drive angle plates and / or at least two identical right-hand angle plates. Each of the two support arms can have more than one mounting surface, which is particularly appropriate when either a relatively large mirror head or more than one mirror head are to be mounted on a support arm. Accordingly, such an embodiment of the mounting system according to the invention will also have more than two identical left-hand drive angle plates and / or right-hand angle plates.

In diesen erfindungsgemäßen Halteeinrichtungen ist dasselbe wie oben für das Montagesystem beschriebene Prinzip der vorliegenden Erfindung verwirklicht.In these holding devices according to the invention the same as described above for the mounting system principle of the present invention is realized.
Der Unterschied bei einer Montage von Spiegelköpfen für ein rechtsgelenktes Fahrzeug und ein linksgelenktes Fahrzeug ergibt sich dadurch, dass die Spiegelköpfe bereits in ihrer Grundstellung unterschiedliche Ausrichtungen aufweisen müssen. In der Grundstellung der Außenspiegel sollte eine optimale Beobachtung des rückwärtigen Verkehrs von der Position aus ermöglicht werden an der sich der Fahrer des Fahrzeugs befindet. Bei einem rechtsgelenkten Fahrzeug ist dies der in Fahrtrichtung gesehen rechten Vordersitz und bei einem linksgelenkten Fahrzeug ist dies der in Fahrtrichtung gesehen linken Vordersitz.The difference in a mounting of mirror heads for a right-hand drive vehicle and a left-handed vehicle results from the fact that the mirror heads must already have different orientations in their normal position. In the basic position of the exterior mirrors, optimum observation of the rear traffic should be made possible from the position at which the driver of the vehicle is located. In a right-hand drive vehicle this is the right front seat seen in the direction of travel and in a left-hand drive vehicle this is the left front seat seen in the direction of travel.
Wenn man davon ausgeht, das bei einer Montage der Spiegelköpfe ohne Winkelplatten die Grundstellung sich auf beispielsweise einen Punkt in der Mitte des Fahrzeugs und in Höhe der Vordersitze bezieht, dann beinhaltet eine Einstellung der Grundstellung des rechten und linken Spiegelkopfs für ein rechtsgelenktes oder linksgelenktes Fahrzeug immer eine Verschwenkung der beiden Spiegelköpfe in dieselbe Richtung. Demgemäß sind bei einem linksgelenkten Fahrzeug die Winkelplatten derart auf den Montageflächen der Haltearme zu montieren, dass die darauf zu montierenden Spiegelköpfe in dieselbe Richtung, d. h. nach links, verschwenkt sind. Entsprechend sind bei einem rechtsgelenkten Fahrzeug die Winkelplatten derart auf den Montageflächen der Haltearme zu montieren, dass die darauf zu montierenden Spiegelköpfe beide nach rechts verschwenkt sind.If one assumes that when mounting the mirror heads without angle plates the basic position is, for example, a point in the middle of the vehicle and at the level of the front seats, then adjusting the home position of the right and left mirror heads for a right-handed or left-hand vehicle always involves pivoting the two mirror heads in the same direction. Accordingly, in a left-hand drive vehicle, the angle plates are to be mounted on the mounting surfaces of the support arms such that the mirror heads to be mounted thereon are pivoted in the same direction, ie, to the left. Accordingly, in a right-hand drive vehicle, the angle plates are to be mounted on the mounting surfaces of the support arms such that the mirror heads to be mounted thereon are both pivoted to the right.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Montagesystem oder der erfindungsgemäßen Halteeinrichtung kann die Linkslenkerorientierung der Linkslenkerwinkelplatte somit derart beschrieben werden, dass ausgehend davon, dass die Haltearme, jeweils eine dem Fahrzeug zugewandte Innenseite und eine von dem Fahrzeug abgewandte Außenseite aufweisen, wobei die wenigstens eine Montagefläche zwischen Innen- und Außenseite angeordnet ist, die Linkslenkerorientierung der Linkslenkerwinkelplatte bei deren Montage an einem rechten Haltearm derart ist, dass die breite Randseite der Linkslenkerwinkelplatte der Außenseite des rechten Haltearms zugewandt ist, und dass die Linkslenkerorientierung der Linkslenkerwinkelplatte bei deren Montage an einem linken Haltearm derart ist, dass die breite Randseite der Innenseite des linken Haltearms zugewandt ist.In the mounting system according to the invention or the holding device according to the invention, the left-hand drive orientation of the left-hand drive angle plate can thus be described such that, starting from the fact that the holding arms, each having an inner side facing away from the vehicle and an outer side facing away from the vehicle, wherein the at least one mounting surface between inner and Outside is arranged, the left-hand drive orientation of the left-hand drive angle plate when mounted on a right arm such that the wide edge side of the left-hand drive angle plate faces the outside of the right arm, and that the left-hand drive orientation of the left-hand drive angle plate when mounted on a left arm is such that the wide edge side facing the inside of the left support arm.
Gleichermaßen kann die Rechtslenkerorientierung der Rechtslenkerwinkelplatte bei deren Montage an einem rechten Haltearm derart beschrieben werden, dass die schmale Randseite der Rechtslenkerwinkelplatte der Außenseite des rechten Haltearms zugewandt ist, und dass die Rechtslenkerorientierung der Rechtslenkerwinkelplatte bei deren Montage an einem linken Haltearm derart ist, dass die schmale Randseite der Innenseite des linken Haltearms zugewandt ist.Similarly, the right-hand drive orientation of the right-hand drive angle plate when mounted on a right arm can be described so that the narrow edge side of the right-hand angle plate faces the outside of the right arm, and that the right-hand drive orientation of the right-hand angle plate when mounted on a left arm such that the narrow Edge side facing the inside of the left support arm.
Alternativ kann bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Montagesystem oder der erfindungsgemäßen Halteeinrichtung die zum Erreichen der oben genannten gleichgerichteten Verschwenkung erforderliche Orientierung der Winkelplatten bei der Montage auf den Montageflächen der Haltearme derart beschrieben werden, dass bei einer in Bezug auf die hinsichtlich der Montage am Kraftfahrzeug beabsichtigte Ausrichtung der Haltearme die Vorderseitenflächen der Winkelplatten gegenüber den Montageflächen der Haltearme um eine senkrechte Hochachse, die zur z-Achse des Fahrzeugs parallel ist, verdreht ausgerichtet sind, wobei bei der Linkslenkerorientierung die Vorderseitenflächen der Linkslenkerwinkelplatten negativ um die senkrechte Hochachse verdreht sind, und bei der Rechtslenkerorientierung die Vorderseitenflächen der Rechtslenkerwinkelplatten positiv um die senkrechte Hochachse verdreht sind. Die zur z-Achse des Fahrzeugs parallele Hochachse verläuft beispielsweise entlang der schmalen Randseite der jeweiligen Winkelplatte.Alternatively, in the mounting system according to the invention or the holding device according to the invention required for achieving the above-mentioned rectified pivoting orientation of the angle plates during assembly on the mounting surfaces of the support arms are described such that at a with respect to the intended mounting on the motor vehicle alignment of the support arms the front surfaces of the angle plates relative to the mounting surfaces of the support arms around the vertical vertical axis, which is parallel to the z-axis of the vehicle, are twisted aligned, wherein in the left-hand drive orientation, the front surfaces of the left-hand drive angle plates are negatively rotated about the vertical vertical axis, and in the right-hand drive orientation, the front surfaces of the right-hand drive angle plates are positively rotated about the vertical vertical axis , The vertical axis parallel to the z-axis of the vehicle extends, for example, along the narrow edge side of the respective angle plate.
Zur genauen Kennzeichnung der Bauteile von Fahrzeugen wird als ein Fahrzeugkoordinatensystem in der Regel ein dreidimensionales, rechtshändiges Koordinatensystem verwendet. Der Nullpunkt dieses Koordinatensystems befindet sich bei Kraftfahrzeugen in der Mitte einer gedachten Linie zwischen den Mittelpunkten der Vorderräder. Die x-Achse zeigt entgegen der Fahrtrichtung des Fahrzeugs, die z-Achse nach oben und die y-Achse nach rechts.To accurately identify the components of vehicles, a three-dimensional, right-handed coordinate system is typically used as a vehicle coordinate system. The zero point of this coordinate system is in motor vehicles in the middle of an imaginary line between the centers of the front wheels. The x-axis points counter to the direction of travel of the vehicle, the z-axis upwards and the y-axis to the right.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Montagesystem oder den erfindungsgemäßen Halteeinrichtungen können ferner die Linkslenkerwinkelplatten und Rechtslenkerwinkelplatten eine Mehrzahl an Linkslenkerformelementen bzw. Rechtslenkerformelementen und demgemäß die Montageflächen der rechten und linken Haltearme eine Mehrzahl an komplementären ersten und zweiten Formelementen aufweisen.In the mounting system according to the invention or the holding devices according to the invention may also have the left-hand drive angle plates and right-hand angle plates a plurality of left-hand drive elements or right-hand drive elements and accordingly the mounting surfaces of the right and left support arms having a plurality of complementary first and second form elements.
Dadurch kann die Verwechslungssicherheit weiter erhöht werden. So wird bei mehreren Formelementen auf den Montageflächen zum einen die Verwechslungssicherheit innerhalb eines Montagesystems erhöht und können darüber hinaus die Winkelplatten für mehrere unterschiedliche Montagesysteme kodiert werden.This can further increase the likelihood of confusion. Thus, in the case of several mold elements on the mounting surfaces, on the one hand, the confusion within a mounting system is increased and, moreover, the angle plates can be coded for a plurality of different mounting systems.
Bei der Verwendung von mehr als einem Linkslenkerformelement bzw. Rechtslenkerformelement auf den Winkelplatten können diese auch so angeordnet werden, dass eines der komplementären Formelemente auf den Montageflächen der Haltearme zu sowohl einem der Linkslenkerformelemente als auch einem der Rechtslenkerformelemente komplementär ist. Ein derartiges Formelement übernimmt damit sowohl die Funktion eines komplementären ersten Formelements als auch die Funktion eines komplementären zweiten Formelements.When using more than one left-hand drive articulated element or right-hand drive shaped element on the angle plates, these can also be arranged such that one of the complementary form elements on the mounting surfaces of the support arms is complementary to both one of the left-hand drive elements and one of the right-hand drive elements. Such a form element thus assumes both the function of a complementary first feature and the function of a complementary second feature.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Montagesystem oder den erfindungsgemäßen Halteeinrichtungen können die Rechtslenkerformelemente bzw. Linkslenkerformelemente beispielsweise durch Stege und/oder Nuten und die komplementären ersten bzw. zweiten Formelemente durch Nuten und/oder Stege ausgebildet sein. Alternativ können die Rechtslenkerformelemente bzw. Linkslenkerformelemente durch kreisförmige Zapfen und die komplementären ersten bzw. zweiten Formelemente durch kreisförmige Bohrungen ausgebildet sein, wobei Zapfen und Bohrungen natürlich auch vertauscht angeordnet werden können.In the mounting system according to the invention or the holding devices according to the invention, the right-hand drive elements or left-hand drive elements can be formed, for example, by webs and / or grooves and the complementary first or second form elements by grooves and / or webs. Alternatively, the right-hand drive elements or left-hand drive elements can be formed by circular pins and the complementary first and second mold elements by circular holes, pins and holes can of course be arranged reversed.
Es sind prinzipiell auch andere Formelemente möglich und von der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst insofern eine verwechslungssichere Kodierung der Winkelplatten erreicht wird.In principle, other form elements are also possible, and the present invention thus encompasses a mix-proof coding of the angle plates.
In einer speziellen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Montagesystems bzw. der erfindungsgemäßen Halteeinrichtungen sind der linke und der rechte Haltearm spiegelsymmetrisch zueinander.In a specific embodiment of the mounting system according to the invention or the holding devices according to the invention, the left and the right arm are mirror-symmetrical to each other.
In einer weiteren speziellen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Montagesystems bzw. der erfindungsgemäßen Halteeinrichtungen weisen die Winkelplatten durchgehende Bohrungen für die Montage der Spiegelköpfe an den Haltearmen auf und sind diese Bohrungen symmetrisch angeordnet. Durch die symmetrische Anordnung der durchgehenden Bohrungen lassen sich sowohl der rechte Spiegelkopf als auch der linke Spiegelkopf unter Zwischenschaltung der gleichen Winkelplatte auf den jeweiligen Träger montieren.In a further specific embodiment of the mounting system according to the invention or the holding devices according to the invention, the angle plates have through holes for the mounting of the mirror heads on the support arms and these holes are arranged symmetrically. Due to the symmetrical arrangement of the through holes, both the right mirror head and the left mirror head can be mounted on the respective support with the interposition of the same angle plate.
Bei dieser Ausführungsform müssen vor der Montage der Spiegelköpfe die Winkelplatten nicht vorab an den Haltearmen montiert werden sondern können die Spiegelköpfe direkt mit den Haltearmen verschraubt werden, wobei die Schrauben für die Befestigung der Spiegelköpfe durch die Bohrungen der Winkelplatten geführt werden.In this embodiment, the angle plates must not be pre-mounted on the support arms before mounting the mirror heads but the mirror heads can be bolted directly to the support arms, the screws for fixing the mirror heads are guided through the holes of the angle plates.
Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist schließlich auch ein Kraftfahrzeugaußenspiegel für Nutzfahrzeuge, der eine der oben beschriebenen Halteeinrichtungen umfasst mit wenigstens einem an der Halteeinrichtung montierten Spiegelkopf.Finally, the subject matter of the present invention is also an automotive exterior mirror for commercial vehicles, which comprises one of the holding devices described above with at least one mirror head mounted on the holding device.

Der erforderliche Winkel der in der vorliegenden Erfindung verwendeten Winkelplatten (10, 20), d.h. der Winkel zwischen Vorderseite und Rückseite der Winkelplatte, errechnet sich aus dem Unterschied der Anstellwinkel der Spiegel der Fahrerseite und der Beifahrerseite und beträgt die Hälfte dieses Unterschieds. Ist beispielsweise ein Anstellwinkel für den Fahrerspiegel αFahrer von 16° und für den Beifahrerspiegel αBeifahrer von 30° erforderlich so beträgt der Unterschied der Anstellwinkel 30° - 16° = 14° und ergibt sich daraus somit ein Winkel von 14° : 2 = 7° für die Winkelplatten (10, 20).The required angle of the angle plates (10, 20) used in the present invention, ie the angle between front and rear of the angle plate, is calculated from the difference in the angles of attack of the driver's side and passenger's side mirrors and is half that difference. For example, if an angle of attack for the driver's mirror α driver of 16 ° and for the passenger's mirror α passenger 30 ° is required so the difference in angle of
